Morning

Review of Think Python:

  • Chapter 3 (in particular we worked through exercise 3.3 quite closely)
  • Chapter 4 Turtle Graphics (reviewing the concept of a "state" diagram)

Afternoon

a story and a map

In-class Pair programming exercise "Leaf > Branch > Tree > Forest".

Good Text Editors

Linux

  • kate
  • emacs and vi of course (for old-skool cred ;)

OS X

  • Smultron (open source and solid)
  • TextMate (full-featured shareware)
  • WriteRoom (minimal editor inappropriate for working on code but great for meeting writing deadlines)
